TNN | Updated: Dec 21, 2018, 09:54 IST
Representative imageCHENNAI: Indian Oil Corporation launched its ‘fuel at doorstep’ service in the city on Thursday, wherein fuel is dispensed through mobile dispensers similar to fuel tanks.
The scheme was first started in Pune in May in a bid to ensure hassle free supply of fuel to end users, thereby avoiding unnecessary fuel spillage, unsafe handling of fuel in containers/barrels and pilferage.
A fuel delivery vehicle fitted with a mobile dispenser and 6,000 litre fuel tank was flagged off at the inaugural event at Chandini Enterprises, Indian Oil Petrol Pump, Kolathur by Indian Oil Corporation executive director R Sitharthan.
At present industrial & bulk customers, who require fuel (diesel) must visit retail pumps to fill containers/barrels.
“The customer can place orders through an android mobile application (REPOSE APP). The minimum order would be 200 litres and for quantities exceeding 2,500 litres, the receiver should have PESO license for storage,” a statement said.
Once the customer places the order, it reaches the concerned dealer with details including the customer’s name, mobile number, quantity required, address and time of delivery.
On receipt of the order, the mobile dispenser would reach the destination and the dispensing would commence through the automated unit only in the designated location.
The dispenser would also carry fire extinguishers.
